Rothbaum, Fred

Child Development, v50 n4 p1184-91 Dec 1979

A total of 96 children aged 7, 10, and 14 years were administered questions and an imitation task to assess their comprehension of the objectivity-subjectivity distinction. Judgments of age were used to measure the objective dimension and judgments of attractiveness to measure the subjective dimension. (JMB)
